Polar Bear Fun Fact: A fun fact about polar bears is that their skin is actually black! Beneath their thick, white fur, their black skin helps them absorb and retain heat from the sun, which is essential for staying warm in the freezing Arctic environment. The white fur, which appears translucent but reflects light, provides excellent camouflage in the snowy surroundings.
